There's so much work to be done on the Refractor House I can't say for sure when it will open. One of the things to be discussed at the SPOC meeting this Saturday (open to all) is SPOC work parties. Hopefully we can get enough people involved in those to at least get the major issues corrected quickly. But hopefully the other two SPOC scopes will be on line next month. And there's always the U's observatory on the roof of South Physics. Open every clear Wednesday evening starting at sunset. patrick On 23 Feb 2012, at 06:22, Chuck Hards wrote:
With Mars just about at opposition, I noticed how much brighter it is this morning, compared to the last few months. I'm hoping SPOC opens up soon, in time to get some good views of the Red Planet while it's at it's closest.
